That would render the change meaningless. The point is to prefer a local src.conf, if one exists, over a global one. This is particularly useful on development machines, including FreeBSD's own cluster, where multiple source trees exist and regularly get built. In hindsight, I should probably have included an UPDATING entry. DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - d...@freebsd.org
